And they just give their kids phones.
And I think we remember life without phones and our childhood without phones.
And so I think we're more apt to try to recreate some of those moments for our kids more than...
maybe younger parents would um you know my daughter came home and she said that the teacher asked all the kids in first grade what they wanted to be when they grew up and she said every boy in the class said they wanted to be a youtuber um two of the girls i've read that my daughter included want to be pop stars and then another girl she said wants to walk the red rope and i was like the road
and I was like oh the red carpet and I was like you know that's not a job like that's actually like a result of a job so I mean these kids and then you know all these Sephora kids like these like 8 year olds have skin care routines like they're taking better care of their skin than me you know and it's just like what is this and it's all YouTube and it's all the corporations and so you know it can be it's a very challenging area to navigate and
You know, I think with the schools, you know, trying to find like-minded parents can be very helpful.

Like I don't want to spend my time on it.
And like this whole idea that they talk about in this book, I'm reading the Jonathan hate book is like just being forever elsewhere.

She goes to school at 8.10.
She's back at 4.45.
You can look at your phone from 8.10 until 4.45.
Just stare at it all day long.
